I never thought of myself as a "decorator" but when it comes to details on a perspectives, often it's the accessories that bring a space to life.
Similar to staging a home for sale, the small potted plants and table settings help my clients "see" the vision that will be their yard.
The other day I created a perspective of a proposed barbecue area for a project I am currently developing. While I want to show off the contemporary lines of the counter at the barbecue, I stared at it afterwards thinking it was cold and uninviting.
Enter the accessories: a potted orchid, succulent garden boat, and dishes with hanging towel.

| To ensure the proper scale and perspective, these were drawn on trace paper directly on top of the original . |
I scanned the additional trace paper and in Photoshop: multiply the layers, adjust the levels to blend them together, flatten ...and VOILA: Short from putting their initials on the towel, the barbecue seems personal, inviting, and still shows off the clean lines of the counter.
